With Next, it is still apparent that you are paying full price for the phone. I think a lot of people will choose to keep their phones and lower their bills. With the old 2 year contracts, your bill stayed the same regardless, so it was a no-brainer to get a $500 phone for $200.


But people will still jump carriers. I just signed up for AT&T's plan in September. If I'm not satisfied after I pay off the phones, I'll probably jump back to Verizon. Much more to it now than just 2 year contracts. Some people always want the latest and greatest and will buy the new phones. Some, like me, would prefer a lower bill and buy one a model older to save $100 over the life of the contract.

Yes, people will still jump carriers. Yes, some people will still always get the latest and greatest.

Right. People now have the option to lower their bills by using old phones. Some will go further than you and use phones 3 or 4 years old and save much more than $100.
